The FIA’s World Motor Sport Council has reinstated the Bahrain Grand Prix on 30th October, moving the Indian Grand Prix to December. The start of the F1 Circus this year was put back after the Arab Spring made the Gulf Kindom of Bahrain a less than suitable venue for something as frivolous as Formula One, leading to […]
Monaco Grand Prix (2011) RESULT
The Monaco Grand Prix is usually a procession, so with Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel on Pole and Jensen Button in second, is that how F1’s most glamorous race will end? Far from being a long line of very expensive F1 cars following each other round the streets of the Grimaldi Empire, the 2011 Monaco Grand […]
Spanish Grand Prix (2011) RESULT
Another Red Bull front grid, but this time it’s Webber on pole with the McLarens and Alonso behind. Can Alonso take the win for his home crowd? Well, it was almost business as usual at the front of the grid for the 2011 Spanish Grand Prix. Almost, but not quite. Instead of Sebastian Vettel sitting […]
Turkish Grand Prix (2011) RESULT
Normal service resumed at Turkey with Vettel on pole and Webber riding shotgun. Did the McLarens – or the improving Ferraris – change that? What a difference a year makes. The 2010 Turkish Grand Prix was full of problems for Red Bull after Vettel and Webber collided, leading to Webber’s – seemingly justified – accusations […]
Chinese Grand Prix (2011) RESULT
The Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai sees Sebastian Vettel on pole position in the Red Bull and Jenson Button alongside in the McLaren. Another Vettel victory?

It must be a dream lifestyle for any 23 year old man. Driving fast cars in glamorous locations, and being paid a shed-load of money to do it. True, the […]
Schumacher & Rosberg: A pregnant pause
Mercedes F1 has produced a little video showing teasing rivalry between Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg as they stop to help a stranded pregnant woman. Those crazy Germans, they do like to josh with us. Since Mercedes now has an all German team we wonder if they’re trying a bit too hard to prove there’s a human […]
Malaysian Grand Prix (2011) RESULT
The front row of the grid at the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix is all Red Bull and McLaren, with Vettel on pole. Did it stay that way? We might as well get it out of the way at the start. Especially as the interesting bits went on elsewhere. Sebastian Vettel lead from start to finish […]
Australian Grand Prix (2011) RESULT
The F1 Grand Prix calendar kicks of in Australia, with a Sebastian Vettel pole and Lewis Hamilton in second place. How did it all end? Update: The Saubers – which finished a creditable seventh and eighth – have been disqualified for a technical infringement with their rear wing. Which moves the two Force Indias in […]
